What a lovely day!
Haven't done some stuff for very long. My day started super early today.
Had my driving lesson at 8am today, taught by Mr Ng. Whaha.. He's super funny and super nice. Having learnt driving for so long, he only took me for the 1st time last thur. Today is my 3rd lesson with him. Circuit courses usually very difficult to clear one. Lots on pointers to remember. That time Mr Tan also took me for circuit course. He taught me parallel parking, S-course and crank course, but I honestly din care what he told me, cos the lesson I had with Mr Ng, he already taught me and given me more tips. So I super like to be taught by Mr Ng cos super fun and also lots of tips. Cleared the entire circuit course review today. I only left with stage 4 before I take my final evaluation and my test. Also cos of this, got a small scolding from Mr Ng. Haha.. cos I've been super pia with my practical driving lessons, trying to clear everything at one shot, but forgetting that I needa pass my advance theory test in order to book for my driving test. Argh.. No choice. Gotta pia my advance theory this wk hopefully can pass my evaluation next week. And hopefully got a test date in mid Sep.
After driving, I went down to Raffles City for my 1st dental appointment in 6 YEARS. YESH.. SIX YEARS. Haha... I always dread going to the dentist. If I haven't had this free dental consultation and polish, I dun think I'll go to the dentist on my own accord. Went to the Stamford Dental Clinic. Wow.. it was a super posh clinic, yet the tv was on, showing kids central when I walked in. Haha.. I had the honor to be the 1st patient of the day. Super nervous.. so scare when I had the drilling sound.
First the nurse explained to me that the cleaning has 2 processes: polishing and scaling. Polishing wont clean the teeth completely. But scaling would but it isn't free.. Eh... Whatever.. So when I walked into the "Smile" Room, I saw a pretty dentist and her "auntie" assistant. The dentist examined and o well.. Maybe too long I never go dentist le, the tartar and dirts accumulated between the teeth cos my front gum to become super swollen and puffy and I've got ginervitis (a gum disease)... Oh no.. Hai.. Looks like I really need to do the scaling. So I agreed.
Ah... So pain. The dentist digged and poked and I bled a lot... It was about a 20mins process, followed by a 5 mins polishing process. :D I've got super clean teeth now. The dentist said I was a very brave girl.. :D Made me so shy, so paiseh.. Haha.. She said I got very healthy gum at the back of my teeth and very neat and nice teeth shape. Hee.. But this dental visit cos me $50.. Anything la..
After which, I went to shop around Raffles Place then decided to find a nice place to have lunch to reward myself for working so hard for so long and since my gum was still bleeding.. Eh.. Me decided to go Soup Spoon. Had a set meal.. a bowl of Boston Calm Chowder and a roasted pumpkin salad with a large ice tea. Woho..
Boston calm chowder..thick and creamy, full of ingredients and large, fresh, juicy calms.
Roasted pumpkin salad.. pumpkin roasted with onion and garlic, large cubes yet soft..the pumpkin melts in my mouth once it enters my mouth.. yummy.. accompanied with rocket leaves dressed in red vinegarette.. Excellent..
Top is up with a huge chilly ice tea. What an excellent lunch.. Quiet and peaceful.. Haven had such a time with myself for a long time. Nothing to care and bother, but my only care for that day was... how to get to school on time and direct... Haha.. So I took a stroll down the Park opposite Padang to take a direct bus to school. Up the bus I boarded and slept my way through til I reached school. O ya.. And not forgetting that I've become super teeth-conscious cos I'm looking into the mirror almost every 10 minutes. Whaha...
What a lovely day...
